The Real Deal
The Grand Tier - 1930 Broadway
Developer Glenwood has reopened its latest residence for leasing after a first phase this summer, in which 65 percent of the apartments were rented. Units include one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, duplexes and penthouse floor-through units. Contact: Glenwood, 1-877-535-0500.

No excuse. Considering some of the really nice buildings being built today, this is a scandal. Would any other city allow such a banal, flimsy looking thing built opposite it&#180;s opera house? No matter what you think of Lincoln Center and Juliard, those buildings are real architecture and deserve better neighbors. Doesn&#180;t this location call out for something super-deluxe....? A sleek glass&white Richard Mier or classical Robert Stern kind-of-something? Wouldn&#180;t high prices hold at this location?

(At least that monster with the brown vertical stripes next door looks sturdy).

Question: what&#180;s the deal with the air ducts under the windows? Why do some buildings have them and some don&#180;t? Question of money? Looks nasty.

Next question: what do you think the shelf-life of these ticky-tack residential towers will be? Do you think we might see some torn down one day, as we&#180;ve seen with office buildings? It hasn&#180;t happened yet, but someday....who knows?...
